What is the TSA PreCheck Program?
The Transportation Security Administration’s PreCheck Program (TSA Pre✓®) is a pre-screening security program that allows eligible, low-risk travelers to receive expedited screening at qualified airports.
If you applied for the program and recently received a TSA PreCheck Preliminary Determination of Ineligibility Letter then you may be eligible for an appeal.
If your TSA PreCheck Appeal is granted you will then be admitted to the TSA PreCheck Program, which allows eligible, low-risk travelers to receive expedited screening at qualified airports saving time in exasperating airport lines and to passing through airport security without having to remove your shoes, liquids, laptops, outwear, or belts. It is an invaluable program if you are a frequent flier.
If you applied for the TSA PreCheck program and recently received a TSA PreCheck Preliminary Determination of Ineligibility Letter then you may be eligible for an appeal. Our experienced TSA PreCheck appeal attorneys will first assess the strength of your appeal, then prepare your relevant paperwork and submit it for appeal.

Explained everything to me.
I hired Shea Randall to complete a Estate Plan for my husband and me. Shea took the time to explain everything to us since we did not understand all the intricate details of creating an estate plan. So glad I did this and now we have nothing to worry about and our future is secured.Thanks Shea you're the BEST! - Joy
Painless and easy process.
Just completed our estate plan with Shea and his team. The process was painless and completed with ease. He even helped us cover areas we didn't know we needed protection for from power of attorney to end of life decisions. The comfort and security knowing our estate is in order can't be understated. Loved the completed product too, all in a nice folio and organized for the future. Thanks Shea! - Rob

How do I know if qualify for a TSA PreCheck Appeal?
According to the TSA website, all United States Citizens, United States Nationals, or Lawful Permanent Residents who pay the enrollment fee, participate in the application process, and who do not provide incomplete or false application information, have not committed violations of transportation security regulations, and who haven’t committed disqualifying criminal offenses and factors, are eligible to enroll in the TSA PreCheck Program.
Often times, however, the TSA’s determination is based on inaccurate or incomplete information. For example, if your past criminal conviction was dismissed, expunged, or reduced, or if there has been more than seven years since your conviction of certain felonies, then you may still be eligible to participate in the TSA PreCheck Program.
Permanent Disqualifying Criminal Offenses
An applicant to the TSA PreCheck Program will be disqualified if he or she was convicted, pled guilty (including ‘no contest’), or found not guilty by reason of insanity for any of the following felonies regardless of when they occurred:

How Do I Begin My TSA PreCheck Appeal?
The entire process for a TSA PreCheck Appeal is very time-sensitive given the 60 day window with which to file an appeal. As a precautionary measure, then, and to ensure that an appeal is the best option for your specific circumstances, we recommend beginning with a TSA PreCheck appeal case analysis. This will provide you with two things:
- The reassurance in knowing that an appeal is indeed available prior to signing up for a legal service, and
- An attorney’s informed opinion on the strength or weakness of your case.
The process entails a document review by an attorney, case history preparation, and then final analysis preparation. In most cases, unless the records are very lengthy, the total process generally takes less than 1 month and costs $300. What counts as a lengthy record depends on (1) whether the total record is 5 or more record entries or 5 or more pages in length, and (2) the clarity of the record. If the record is lengthy or if there are several holidays during the month, plan on several extra days for completion. A portion of this cost will then be applied as a credit towards your Global Entry appeal, should you decide to pursue it. The credit ranges from $100-$200 depending on the number of violations or cases on your record.
If we determine that you have a case for an appeal we will begin preparing and gathering the required documentation to be submitted to the TSA. Prior to May 1, 2019, the TSA allowed this to be submitted electronically via an email system. Now, however, the TSA advises it be submitted via your Trusted Traveler Program (TTP) account online. The entire appeal process can take several weeks to several months, depending on TSA themselves.
